Lauren Beth Gash on Budget & Economy

Pay down the national debt

In order to ensure that Social Security and Medicare continue to be available for current retirees and well into the future, Lauren supports using the budget surplus to pay down the national debt.
With the money saved from not having to pay the interest on the debt, we can ensure the solvency of Medicare into the year 2025 and the solvency of Social Security into the year 2050.
